Agreed on most.Bieska is about as honest as it comes.
Hrudey and I think MacLean, don't really care for Sutter personally, so that definitely comes through. Also, like Cassie, Hrudey seems to go out of the way to go to far the other way in praising other teams or players, all game, in even just the regional Flames broadcasts.
Amber rambles on like McLean does and also makes sure he gets the Sportsnet approved checklist of talking points/generalizations in. Trying hard to play up rivalries or mention ”Sutter hockey” or anything McDavid, and anything else that may create dramatic effect for TV Land.
Botteril is good but of course all panel analysts have the ability to pick out and prepare their 30seconds of defined comments and analysis for the intermission. Cassie is good in that same role as well as shown last year.
